MrRant Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 So I got some free tickets to the Headbangers Ball tour tomorrow from work (Yay Comcast) and I probably should at least familiarise myself with some of the bands. I know Cradle of Filth a bit but haven't heard the other 3. Song suggestions are what I'm looking for. These are the bands that will be playing: Cradle Of Filth Arch Enemy Bleeding Through Himsa Thanks.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 The other 3 are good, but CoF suck.
Nevermortal Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 Bleeding Through: "Rise", "On Wings of Lead", "Love Lost in a Hail of Gunfire", "City of the Condemned" Arch Enemy: "Ravenous", "Exist to Exit", "Burning Angel", "Silent Wars", "We Will Rise" Cradle of Filth: "Lord Abortion", "Funeral in Carpathia", "Summer Dying Fast", "Haunted Shores" I've got nothing for HIMSA, as I don't listen to them. Notes: - Angela Gossow (the lead singer from Arch Enemy) is hot. - Cradle of Filth will most likely take out some strippers to distract you from the fact that Dani Filth has pretty much no power in his voice left. - Bleeding Through has a ridiculous amount of energy.
MrRant Posted November 30, 2004 Author Report Posted November 30, 2004 I shall download these tonight. Now to get ahold of someone to go with.
Guest The Shadow Behind You Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 Bleeding Through is easily one of the best live acts going today. They are worth the price of admission (well, not in your case) alone. COF isn't much to write home about and Arch Enemy is fun stuff with a hot lead. Himsa? I never heard their stuff and i never heard much praise anyways.
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 Fucker, my bro got invited to go with a premier canadian band(Omega Crom) to go hang out backstage at the cradle/arch show in Calgary for free and then the after party Omega show. Fuck. I ain't helpin nobody with this thread.
MrRant Posted November 30, 2004 Author Report Posted November 30, 2004 Why don't you just jack your brothers tickets?
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 Because he's going in for free all the way. No tickets needed because he'll be with the band.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 Nobody has heard of Himsa? What the hell? "Courting Tragedy and Disaster" is amazing. Check out "Kiss or Kill", "Jacob Shock", "Dominion", "Rain to the Sound of Panic", "When Midnight Breaks", and "A Girl in Glass." "Rain..." and "A Girl in Glass" are the two singles out there right now.
Corey_Lazarus Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 Of the lineup, Himsa is the weakest. If you like heavy music, Bleeding Through will entertain you, at the least. The singer has an almost Phil Anselmo-like voice when he decides to sing, but his scream is very similar to your generic hardcore screams.
MrRant Posted November 30, 2004 Author Report Posted November 30, 2004 I'm suprised that Agent has not yet graced this thread with his presence and opinon.
Nevermortal Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 10 bucks says he dislikes the entire bill. Although I seem to recall him saying that he can tolerate Cradle of Filth way back when. For me, I stop at Midian. Their newer albums are shit.
Placebo Effect Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 The best thing you can do for yourself before going to a show, any show, is check out the band's message board, or Google, for a setlist. Bleeding Through: 1) love lost in a hail of gunfire 2) sweet vampirous (1.5 mins of musical perfection, you will not go wrong with this song) 3) on wings of lead (later in the set, not in order) 4) revenge i seek 5) this is love, this is murderous 6) rise 7) savious, saint, salvation Himsa: "Cherum", "Girl in Glass", and their most popular song, "Rain to the Sound of Panic", Arch Enemy: Enemy Within Silent Wars Burning Angel We Will Rise Dead Eyes See No Future Dead Bury Their Dead Savage Messiah Instinct Bury Me An Angel Ravenous Cradle: Gilded C**t Nemesis The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh Mannequin Nymphetamine Her Ghost In The Fog The Forest Whispers My Name The Promise Of Fever Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids From Cradle To Enslave
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 I really don't like Cradle of Filth as anything more than a sideshow attraction. There are few better walking cliches than Dani Filth. They've got a couple tight riffs here and there, but since when was that anything special. Arch Enemy is totally overproduced, but the guitar work is slick and technical if you're into that sort of thing. Angela Gossow is a babe, as was mentioned before, plus she's an alright vocalist. She sweated on me when I saw them open for Slayer. The bass player is this monstrous ogre who beats the bejesus out of a Rickenbacker in a sort of Scandinavian Lemmy Kilmister on PCP act. Bleeding Through sounds cheesy and lame. I don't know them offhand. Himsa blows dogs for quarters. Final verdict: I would go to this show for free, and spend 2/3 of it looking for trendy gothic trim.
MrRant Posted November 30, 2004 Author Report Posted November 30, 2004 Tis free so I shall go. The Premier: It's going to be mighty packed in there.
